Find Your Rhythm
Feeling a bit out of sync? Don't ignore it-- this can be an important reminder to pay closer attention to your own rhythms in daily life. Levels of energy, creativity, and focus can peak at different times for each of us, creating our own internal patterns and needs that yearn to be recognized.
Though it may be tricky to work around your existing daily schedule, try re-examining where there is room to edit. When you find ways to synchronize to your own cadence, you may just find that solutions begin to harmoniously fall into place.
Read on for 6 benefits to getting in tune with your personal life and work rhythms.

Trying to work without respect for your rhythm can be huge drain on your efficiency! It may go unnoticed in the moment, but after a period of doggedly slogging through, you may find you have wasted valuable time and opportunities along the way.
Let go of the stubborn need to adhere to a process that isn't working. Shaking up a static routine can help you rout out unnecessary obstacles and reclaim those valuable resources. 2. Find peace of mind.In finding your rhythm, you also gain a feeling of comfort in your skin, your methods, and your routines. It can make all the difference between feeling scattered and out of flow, or having calm clarity and peace of mind. Keeping that state of mental peace makes it that much easier to tackle the tasks ahead of you.

3. Save money!

We've all had those days when we splurge for the sake of convenience. Being overwhelmed and busy can leave you unable or unmotivated to keep an eye on your budget. When you are in this state, you are less likely to consider prices or to explore more cost-conscious alternatives, like cooking at home versus springing for take-out.
When you become more aware of your rhythms, patterns, and tendencies, you can consider these in your preparations ahead of time. In doing so, you take some of the angst out of those hasty spending decisions, which in turn helps you budget your time, energy, and funds more wisely. |
4. Fit in your priorities.

When you find you can't get around to doing things, it could be because you are trying to fit them into the wrong spaces of your schedule, projects, or life in general. Take a step back and consider how to realign your tasks with the way you work best.
Listen to your inner beat. It knows when to drive hard and when to rest. Learn where your natural highs and lows occur so you can strategically re-position your priorities. Whether that means a small fine-tuning or a complete restructuring, the change could make a significant impact on your daily life. |
5. Gain positive momentum.

It takes extra effort to operate against your natural rhythms. While swimming upstream can be a worthy challenge from time to time, finding your flow reduces unnecessary strains on your energy and personal stamina. When you're not busy going against your own grain, things can instead move forward with positive momentum.
6. Have some "me" time.

Find your flow so you can allot some "me" time to yourself, or allot some "me" time, so you can find your flow. Even if it ends up being a tiny portion of your day, being in tune with your self is crucial to your personal well-being. For the sake of your mental health and of those around you, this benefit to finding your rhythm is undeniable.
